The Cy Fair ISD (CFISD) school district has achieved the honorable “Recognized” status buy the state of Texas for the third year in a row, according to the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This is a great student and faculty achievement for the whole Towne Lake area, as CFISD is the largest “Recognized” school district in Texas. CFISD has, in the past, held the “Recognized” honor for as many as six consecutive years…a great record in Texas!
The award of “Recognized” status is based on results of the annual TAKS test, where last year every CFISD school but one improved their scores from the previous year. Overall, CFISD students achieved over 90% in reading, writing, and social studies, and nearly 90% in math and science, as well.
